Rich will be greatly missed by family and friends. We remember so many things. The memories that stand out was our trip to Vegas with Rich and Diane. The laughs we had then over great foods and sightseeing at Hoover Dam. So sorry for the loss of such a terrific guy. Broken-hearted ❤️
So sorry for your loss Diane. Rich was a wonderful man 🙏🙏
Such fond memories of Rich. Always helping me shop for Tom when found myself overwhelmed at Bass Pro. He will be missed by many. Our condolences and love, Gabrielle and Tom.
I miss him. I loved him very very much! He’s with his brother and mom now. Love you aunt Di. May he rest in peace 💗
To lose a friend is difficult but to lose a best friend is almost too much to bear. I will miss the many miles we hiked together and all the breakfast and lunched we enjoyed. I will miss you dearly Rich.
